*WINTER SEMESTER AT OFF-UNIVERSITY BEGINS*
...Deutsch unten... Türkçe aşağıda...
//After the Constitutional Court in Turkey confirmed in July what we
always knew, that a petition calling for peace is not a crime, courts
across Turkey are now acquitting Academics for Peace of terrorism
charges. We stand behind our colleagues and their right to freedom of
expression and free academia without persecution. Despite these
acquittals hundreds of academics are still banned from working in public
institutions and Universities, and the struggle for academic freedom and
truth is far from over. Only recently it was announced that Dr Bülent
Şık is facing up to twelve years in jail for “disclosing classified
information” after sharing his research which exposes toxic pollution
that was a risk to public health.
/Off-University/ is excited to announce that we continue to host new
courses by at risk scholars on our learning platform! /This Winter
Semester we /are hosting eight online courses taught by persecuted
academics in Turkey and organised in collaboration with the New
University in Exile Consortiumat the New School, the Free University of
Berlin, Kassel University, Potsdam University, Ludwig Maximilians
University Munich,Göttingen University and Humboldt University Berlin.
/Off-University/’s winter semester courses are on the following topics:
· Comparative History of the Modern Middle East
· Homelessness and Homemaking
· Identity and Conflict in the Middle East
· Media and Discrimination
· Political Economy of the Global South in the Age of Financialisation
· Right and Violation
· Social Welfare Labor and State in Turkey
· Global Political Economy: Evolution and Dynamics
Online courses are held by academics that have been purged from their
institutions, forced to resign, and politically persecuted due to their
opinion and research in Turkey.
In collaboration with partner universities, /Off-University/ provides
certificates of achievement and the equivalence in ECTS points for those
who fulfil the course requirements. Participation in the online courses
does not depend on formal academic degrees and is free of tuition.
Off-University protects learners and does no collect data of participants.
/Off-University// /hosts the online courses on its platform
‘Coworkingsquares’ Off-University’s which offers a virtual classroom
including chat options, video livestream, a virtual blackboard and a
shared file management system designed for participative and horizontal
co-learning. Students can access the course materials and video lectures
on the platform, and students join online class discussions with the
lecturer once a week.
Our first research course “Homelesseness and Homemaking: On Different
Meanings of the Home Space” startedon September 30^th . We are excited
to be welcoming students from around the world who have already enrolled
on our courses.

*DAS WINTERSEMESTER AN DER OFF-UNIVERSITY STARTET*
In einer bahnbrechenden Entscheidung des türkischen Verfassungsgerichts
diesen Juli wurde von offizieller Seite bestätigt, was Viele schon lange
wussten: Eine Friedenspetition - wie die der Wissenschaftler*innen für
den Frieden - zu unterschreiben, ist kein Verbrechen. Seitdem haben
Gerichte in der Türkei begonnen, die Anklagen wegen Terrorismus
zurückzuziehen, doch der Kampf für akademische Freiheit und Wahrheit ist
alles andere als vorbei. Nachdem Dr. Bülen Şıkzum Beispiel seine
Forschung zu Gesundheitsrisiken von toxischer Luftverschmutzung
veröffentlich hatte, wurde bekannt, dass ihmfür die “Verbreitung
geheimer Informationen” bis zu zwölf Jahre Gefängnisstrafe drohen.
Außerdem sind noch immer viele hunderte Wissenschaftler*innen von ihrer
Arbeit in öffentlichen Institutionen und Universitäten ausgeschlossen.
Wir stehen hinter unseren Kolleg*innen, ihrem Recht auf Redefreiheit,
und eine freie Wissenschaft ohne Risiko der Verfolgung.
Als /Off-University/ freuen wir uns sehr, den baldigen Beginn unserer
Wintersemester-Kurse ankündigen zu können. Dieses Semester veranstalten
wir insgesamt acht Online-Kurse, die von verfolgten
Wissenschaftler*innen in der Türkei moderiert, und gemeinsam mit dem New
University in Exile Consortium an der New School for Social Research,
der Freien Universität Berlin, der Uni Kassel, der Universität Potsdam,
der Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München, der Georg-August-Universität
Göttingen und der Humboldt Universität zu Berlin organisiert werden.
Dieses Wintersemester geht es in /Off-University’s /Seminaren um
folgende Themen:
· Comparative History of the Modern Middle East
· Homelessness and Homemaking
· Identity and Conflict in the Middle East
· Media and Discrimination
· Political Economy of the Global South in the Age of Financialisation
· Right and Violation
· Social Welfare Labor and State in Turkey
· Global Political Economy: Evolution and Dynamics
Die Online-Seminare werden von Wissenschaftler*innen gelehrt, die auf
Grund ihrer Meinung und Forschung in der Türkei politisch verfolgt
werden, und daher ihre Stellen an Institutionen verloren haben oder
zwangsweise aufgeben mussten.
In Zusammenarbeit mit den Partneruniversitäten
bietet /Off-University /den Kursteilnehmer*innen, die die Anforderungen
des Kurses erfolgreich erfüllt haben, Leistungsnachweise für die
entsprechenden ECTS-Punkte. Die Teilnahme an den Seminaren ist kostenlos
und nicht an formelle Universitätsabschlüsse
gebunden. /Off-University/ schützt ihre Lernenden und sammelt keine
Daten von Teilnehmenden.
/Off-University /veranstaltet die Online-Kurse auf ihrer Plattform
„Coworkingsquares“. Wir bieten einen virtuellen Seminarraum inklusive
Chat-Optionen, Video Livestream, einer virtuellen Tafel, und einem
gemeinsames Dateiverwaltungssytem bietet. Letzteres ist insbesondere
darauf ausgelegt, partizipatives und horizontales Co-Learning zu
ermöglichen. Die Studierenden haben Zugang zu Kursmaterialien und
Videovorlesungen auf der Plattform. Sie nehmen außerdem einmal in der
Woche an einer Online-Diskussion mit den Lehrenden teil.
Unser erstes Forschungsseminar„Homelessness and homemaking: on different
meanings of the home space” hat am 30. September begonnen. Wir freuen
uns sehr, Studierende aus aller Welt, die sich bereits für den Kurs
angemeldet haben, wilkommen heißen zu dürfen.

*OFF-UNIVERSITY’**DE KI**Ş DÖNEMİ BAŞLIYOR*
Haziran 2019’da Türkiye Anayasa Mahkemesi, başından beri savunduğumuz
gibi, barış talep etmenin suç olmadığına hükmetti ve Ağır Ceza
Mahkemeleri de bu doğrultuda Barış Bildirisi İmzacılarına yönelik
peşpeşe beraat kararları vermeye başladılar. Ancak bütün bu beraat
karalarına rağmen yüzlerce akademisyen halen kamuda görev yapamaz halde
ve akademik özgürlüklere sahip değiller. Kısa süre önce Dr Bülent Şık
toksik atıkların kamu sağlığına zararlarına değinen Kanser Araştırması
Sonuçlarını açıkladığı gerekçesiyle 15 ay hapse mahkum edildi.
Meslektaşlarımızla dayanışma içinde akademinin bağımsızlığını, huzurunu
ve ifade özgürlüğünü savunmayı sürdürüyoruz.
/Off-University/Kış Dönemi derslerinin yakında başlayacağını duyurmanın
heyecanı içindeyiz! Bu dönem Türkiye'de siyasi baskıya maruz kalan
akademisyenler tarafından verilen sekiz çevrimiçi derse; New School’daki
